I love apple season! We are lucky enough here in NJ to have plenty of local farms to go and pick our own. This Dutch Caramel Apple Tart is such a perfect Fall dessert. Grab a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream and dig in!

Is there anything more classic then apple pies? I had some refrigerated pie dough on hand and decided rather then a traditional apple pie I’d go with something a little more fun…a Dutch Caramel Apple Tart! Its a little rustic and I LOVE a crumble topping! …

Combining two fabulous things with this one… apple season and my incredible scones! Yea, self proclaimed scone enthusiast. These Apple Cinnamon Scones are a perfect Fall treat! For breakfast, brunch or an afternoon snack these scones will totally hit the spot!

If you’ve followed along here for a while then you know I really truly LOVE to make scones! Well last week I got a text from my brother asking when I was making him some chocolate chip scones {his favorite thing ever!}. So, like the wonderful sister that I am, I made them over the weekend but also made a few other varieties including a batch of my Blueberry Scones and these Apple Cinnamon Scones. …

Roast Turkey, Apple & Cranberry Salad. Perfect use of leftover turkey! This salad makes for a great lunch sandwich or on a bed of greens. You’re definitely going to want to keep this one in mind come Thanksgiving leftover time.

The other day I remembered I had a turkey breast in my freezer so I went ahead and made a mini Thanksgiving type dinner and boy was it delicious! I had a good amount of turkey meat left over so I used the carcass for a homemade broth and some of the extra meat in this Roast Turkey, Apple & Cranberry Salad. The flavor is so good! The sweetness from the dried cranberries and the crunch of the apple… this is a winner! …

My Fall inspired Wild Rice Salad with Sweet Potato, Spinach & Apple has such a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. Pretty darn lovely to look at too with the great colors of the sweet potato, spinach and apple. This is light, healthy and so easy to make!

I know, I know its still Summer and no I’m not wishing it away but I will say the weather here has been weird and way cooler then a normal NJ August. I can’t help but think about transitioning into Fall flavors like this Wild Rice Salad with Sweet Potato, Spinach & Apple. …

Hey its Friday!!! This week has been so busy and it has just flown by! I am so excited to share this post with you today, especially because its been in the works for months and now I finally get to spill the beans about this top secret recipe post! This is part of a Freaky Friday Recipe Swap that I doing along with an amazing group of blogger friends. We all were assigned a blog to cook/bake from and today we are ALL sharing our posts, and who we had! It’s been TOP SECRET and now I finally get to share this fantastic recipe for Apple Chicken Salad from my friend Michaela from An Affair from the Heart. …

Sure this Pork Tenderloin with an Apple-Onion Gravy looks a it fancy but its actually a pretty easy recipe and packed with great flavor! I love pork tenderloin because they cook up rather quickly and take on whatever seasoning you go with. This gravy, I kind of love it! I think that pork, apples and onions go perfectly together. The slight sweetness the apples add to the gravy is really wonderful. Its a great weeknight meal served simply with some egg noodles and a salad or steamed veggie….

Fall is here and that means APPLES!!! We are so fortunate to have an abundance of local apple orchards to go picking for the freshest apples. I love going picking with the kids, coming home with bags of apples and then coming up with ways, sweet & savory, to use them. I decided on these Apple Pie Burritos, they are simple and delicious! Unlike a traditional apple pie, you can take these Apple Pie Burritos on the go, no utensils needed. Flaky, crisp phyllo dough wrapped around a simple apple filling.

I am not the hugest fan of breakfast as a meal but I am well aware that it is super important to eat a good one and start your day off right! I’m a little bit of a nut and I’m currently doing a cleanse and that means clean eating all the way. Over the weekend I made a batch of these Sweet & Savory Pork Breakfast Bites to have on hand for the week. They are super tasty and much better for you then the super salty breakfast sausages in the frozen aisle. …

Yes! Yes! Yes!!! There is something about Fall, apples and doughnuts that just makes perfect sense! I recently came across a fellow bloggers post with a mini doughnut recipe and then a little light went off… I remembered that I had a mini doughnut pan somewhere and I needed to make apple doughnuts asap! After scurrying through the cabinets and drawers I finally found it and I am so glad I did! These Mini Apple Doughnuts with a Maple Glaze are like little bites of happy! A simple cake doughnut with an amazing glaze and finished with toasted finely chopped hazelnuts, this is a treat you are going to want to make! …

Are you thinking, “Geez, this girl eats a LOT of dessert”? Don’t get me wrong, I wish I could eat dessert all the time but lets be honest, my butt would be HUGE! Theres been a lot of festivities happening and thats meant a lot more baking around here! Those adorable Sprinkle Cookies I posted the other day {don’t forget to enter the awesome giveaway too!}… well I made 4 batches for my husbands 30th birthday celebration. This AMAZINGGGGG Caramel Apple Cheesecake, this was requested for a family party. If these doesn’t scream luscious Fall dessert then I don’t know what does! Silky New York style cheesecake with a delicious graham cracker crust and then its topped with apples cooked in a caramel sauce then to finish it off, some toasted chopped hazelnuts for a little crunch.
